How to Whitelist Your IP – Windows Shared

How to white list your IP for Remote Database Access

You will need to whitelist your IP on the server if you want to remotely manage your databases with software such as Microsoft Server Management Studio Express.

1. Login to Plesk.
2. Click Websites & Domains tab at the top.
3. Click SQL Whitelist Beta? icon (last icon seen).
4. Click Add IP, select service and type IP; Click OK.
   -or-
   Click Add my IP then select service.

Note: You must input an IP address. Plesk does not allow for wildcard whitelisting. If you have a dynamic IP address that changes periodically, you will need to re-whitelist your IP every time your IP changes.
